These little squares knit up in a flash!  Great project to work on when you have some time in between easier projects.  I strongly recommend NOT catching floats at all unless you anticipate rough treatment of your blanket.  You could also easily put a back on this since it is many small squares you could do a hand tied or machine quilted look.  Catching floats often makes then show through on the RS but it makes the fabric very stiff.  
This pattern is available for free.

The magical combination of 50% lightly-felted wool, 25% viscose and 25% alpaca makes it supremely blockable.
